    The reason that im asking is that the "DIP Stick" is drilled in another location dumb azzes but both of you are to stupid to figure that out....

    SOOO one more time is the motor from a four wheel drive truck or a two wheel drive truck?

    Well "smart guy" there's a picture with the dip stick in plain view so you tell us... is it a 4x4 ENGINE? "Motors" are electric. "Engines" are internal combustion but you're too stupid to figure that out right?

    It came out of a prerunner. but the motor is the same as my 4x4 motor. All 5vzfe motors are the same except for the computer(iut changed in 98 and i think again in 01). If you have any more questions please ask. Motor is torn down so if needed i can take pictures of just about anything

    Well not the thread jack (Didn't know TW had kids on it...)
    Source : http://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/690789-5vz-fe-swap-into-74-fj40-project-2.html

    I have optioned to switch the Oil Pan from Tacoma's version to the T100 version as the T100 is rear sump vs front sump of Tacoma/4Runner version. This should help clear the axle 3rd member as the lowest point gets moved backward quest a good distance.
    As I was replacing the oil pan I faced that original dipstick is not in use any more. Toyota does have rear dipstick for T100 and the interesting point as the block still has the location for it, its just not drilled out. I sourced out ORS dipstick guide and drilled a new location. Then I installed new OEM T100 bung and the dipstick. My motor mount need to be modified to clear new dipstick, but this was an easy one.

    Rebuild Alternator went it as the original was seized up. Nice looking unit. Rebuild shop made a good job of cleaning and making it look like new. You can also see the rear dipstick on this picture. Its furthest one. I thought of getting rid of the old one, but then would need to deal with plugging the hole. So far its not disturbing me, so I left it where it was. Now I have 2 dipsticks...
